Sure, but GP's point was that conservatives are accepting of homosexuality, despite the stats otherwise.

If you're going to say that older people tend to be conservative and tend to not to use dating apps, then that forces the question: Why even make this at all?

They are making the app for young conservatives, who are more likely to have non-straight preferences. So while perhaps there are fewer young conservatives than young liberals, they still make up a market that can be served.

I’m sure Thiel and company are smart enough to do appropriate demographic research, even if there are only half as many of them, they still make up a large enough market.
